Staff tried to help but when we checked in room was missing several items necessary to stay! Paper towels, Kleenex , dish washing detergent ,coffee Ect. It would really be nice if bar was ever opened. Just like last year we were told it might opened before we left, but it never did. Place would be a possible gold mine!
